New images and release date for the Metal Gear Solid V ‘Man on Fire’ figure

Play Arts’ figure for the ‘Man on Fire’ has received a release date as well as a batch of new images. The 29 cm (about 11″) tall figure will be released on August 15 of 2015, for a price of 9760 yen (around 72 euro or 80 USD).

The Man on Fire can be seen during the hospital sequence which will serve as the intro to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Everything points to the direction of this being (a hallucination / ghost-like appearance) of Volgin, Snake’s enemy from Operation Snake Eater. But to know what role he plays we will have to wait until the game’s release.
